Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. Recently, I've noticed that she's getting fatter and eating more than other children, but she doesn't like to exercise much. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity and overweight be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Children may suffer from obesity. Parents can help alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Parents can encourage their children to engage in sports that contribute to weight loss, such as jogging or swimming, and they should also increase their intake of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Children should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. Additionally, parents should help their children break bad habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky eaters. If the above methods do not relieve the child's obesity symptoms during treatment, it is important to visit a hospital to identify the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
